Last weekend, a recruitment representative from a Japanese language school visited Myanmar to hold an information session and interviews for students planning to enroll in the April 2027 term.
Many people attended the event and listened intently to the presentation.
We had successful candidates from the interviews following the session, so we are now moving forward with the application preparation process!

As there are still many more opportunities for entry and interviews for the April 2027 intake, J&F Plaza remains fully committed to helping as many people as possible realize their dreams of studying in Japan!

August is the month when students aiming to study in Japan receive the results of their Certificate of Eligibility (COE) applications. While the schedule varies by jurisdiction, the Tokyo Immigration Bureau is set to announce results on August 21st!

Once the COE is successfully issued, there are many steps to take; notably, housing arrangements for international students arriving in October begin in earnest during the latter half of August!

We have long been trusted by many Japanese language schools to provide J&F share house accommodations!
We remain committed to supporting housing needs for international students.

Of course, we also welcome inquiries from schools and related organizations that have not yet used our share houses!

We provide housing support—including preliminary consultations and on-site (or online) viewings—to ensure your students have a fulfilling study-abroad experience in Japan.

Here are the key features of our share houses:

*************************************
● Applications accepted from overseas
● No key money or brokerage fees required
● Furnished with appliances and furniture; Wi-Fi installed
● Dedicated in-house staff (House Managers) at each property
※ Students can move in immediately upon arrival in Japan
● Short-term stays starting from one month are OK

● Monthly rent payments available!
● Japanese residents live on-site, offering daily opportunities to practice Japanese
etc...

In recent years, the number of international students in Japan has surpassed 400,000, and the foreign workforce has reached 2.57 million; the movement of people into Japan for education and employment is expected to continue growing.

However, significant housing-related challenges persist—such as students having their schools decided but being unable to find a place to live, or being unable to secure accommodation before arriving in Japan. These issues remain a major source of anxiety for students starting their new lives here.

Drawing on over 25 years of experience operating international share houses, J&F Plaza Co., Ltd. has launched a new brand, the "HUB Series," to address these challenges.

As the first step in this initiative, we have rebranded our existing facility in Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture—formerly "J&F House Kansai 2"—to "J&F House Kansai 2 Osaka HUB."

The HUB Series is more than just a share house brand.
It is a new brand designed to serve as a hub that connects international talent, students, companies, schools, and local communities through housing, aiming to create an environment where people can begin their new lives in Japan with peace of mind.

Leveraging a location that offers access to Osaka/Umeda in approximately 15 minutes and Kobe/Sannomiya in about 25 minutes, we hope to serve a wide range of educational institutions and students by providing a viable housing option for those pursuing their studies in the Kansai region.
We have issued a press release regarding this initiative and would appreciate it if you could take a look.

We are happy to announce that the individual from Myanmar who had received a job offer in the nursing care sector under the "Specified Skilled Worker" visa status has finally arrived in Japan today! It was a long journey via Thailand, and there were various hurdles along the way, so we are relieved that they made it here safely. We hope they will give their all in their nursing care role and eventually aim to become a Certified Care Worker!

Our company holds a paid employment placement license and supports foreign nationals looking for work.
Please contact us if you are seeking employment under the "Engineer/Specialist in Humanities/International Services" or "Specified Skilled Worker" (Nursing Care) visa categories!

They have now arrived safely! We hope they have a fulfilling experience with both their Japanese studies and their life here.
For accommodation in Japan, they will be staying at "J&F House Warabi," a facility operated by our company.
As we can provide a combined package of school referrals and housing, we will continue to support students coming to Japan!

***********************************
Period: May 2, 2026 - May 6, 2026

Inquiries received during this period will be handled sequentially starting from May 7th.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Now, we will begin preparations for the April 2027 intake!

We have already received recruitment requests from our partner schools!

In the future, the Japanese language proficiency requirements will increase under the new accredited Japanese language school system. Therefore, the Japanese conversation skills and Japanese language proficiency test qualifications of the students we introduce will be stricter than ever before.

For this reason, we will be focusing on introducing students with N5-N4 proficiency more than ever before!

If you need to recruit international students, please contact us!

We handle all types of schools, including Class I, Class II, and new schools!

We will continue to strive to help as many students as possible achieve their goal of studying in Japan!

If you are planning a working holiday in Japan, one of the most important things to consider is where to live.

Tokyo and Osaka are two of the most popular cities for working holiday makers, offering plenty of job opportunities, international communities, and exciting lifestyles. However, finding a place to stay in Japan can be challenging—especially for foreigners.

In fact, many landlords hesitate to rent apartments to working holiday visa holders due to short-term stays and strict requirements.

That’s why choosing the right accommodation is essential.



■ Why J&F House is Recommended

At J&F House, we provide an ideal living environment for working holiday makers in Japan.

✔ Easy Move-in for Foreigners

We welcome international residents and provide support in English, making the process simple and stress-free.

✔ Affordable Rent

Living costs in big cities like Tokyo can be high, but J&F House offers reasonable pricing to help you manage your budget.

✔ Fully Furnished Rooms

Most apartments in Japan are unfurnished, requiring extra costs for furniture and appliances.
At J&F House, you can move in and start living immediately.

✔ Community & Networking

Meet people from all over the world and build connections while living in Japan.
Working holiday is not just about work—it’s about experience.

✔ Flexible Stay Options

Working holiday visas usually allow a stay of up to one year.
We offer flexible terms that suit your stay period.



■ Why Tokyo & Osaka?
Tokyo
More job opportunities
International environment
Endless things to explore
Osaka
Lower living costs
Friendly local atmosphere
Easy access to Kyoto and Kobe


Finding accommodation in Japan as a working holiday maker can be difficult.
However, choosing a foreigner-friendly and flexible option makes your experience much smoother.

J&F House is one of the best choices to start your life in Japan.
